You have done an excellent job of summarizing this sweeping legislation that will likely become the model of regulation around the nation. The challenge, of course, is how to effectively enforce the law – as you mention, it affects millions of businesses, but I doubt that many have heard of it yet (despite enactment several years ago) let alone taken steps to become compliant. Is the AG really going to spend time focusing on the local pizza shop or hairdresser, where vulnerability to attack is perhaps highest, when the consequences of a breach are so much greater at the big box stores? Time will tell.

With the amount of hackers stealing people's identities on a regular basis, it is no surprise that MA law requires businesses to protect their clients' security information. It is very important for banks, for civilians, and for the state to make sure that information on company networks is protected from the prying eyes of hackers with selfish and malicious intentions.
